Best Place to Play Darts

Black Derby Saloon

A good tavern should possess a certain time-warp quality. Trends come and go — infused vodkas, cavity-inducing martinis, digital jukeboxes — but a good bar should provide stability and continuity. That's why you won't find any of those electronic dartboards at the Black Derby Saloon. No sir: You'll have to keep track of your score by hand, employing good old-fashioned arithmetic. Plus, there are few things more satisfying than the sound of a dart sinking into the cork of a real dartboard (especially if it's the bull's-eye). The Black Derby accommodates ten such dartboards — that's ten good reasons to pick up a set of steel-tip darts, grab a bottle of Busch and take aim.
